Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897—1963) was an American pastor in the Christian and Missionary Alliance and an author who emphasized the need for a deeper knowledge of God and development of the “inner life.” For this reason he has been described as an “evangelical mystic.”
| The goal of the spiritual life is to get to know this state of higher consciousness called, 'Divine Love.' This state of mind cannot be described or explained to someone who is not ready to live it; all that can be done is to try gradually to lead him there. This state of mind allows man to feel himself linked inwardly to the whole universe; he is then like an instrument whose strings vibrate in unison with all that exists, he feels a deep peace and, above all, a tremendous kindness toward all beings. He does not know where these good dispositions come from, he just feels that they have invaded his whole being and that they drive him to express himself with love and comprehension. Nature and human beings appear to him in a new light, and he feels that this is true happiness. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood. |

Note: I wrote these five poems in the haiku style of poetry last week with the same theme yet by changing one verse giving it a slightly different meaning in each of the five poems. If you would be so kind as to record the number of the poem in the comment section that most resonated with you personally. I published these five poems for the first time today, the 12th of August, 2026.
Now is the time to awaken to your heart's light, now is the time of redemption, now is the time of self-fulfillment and now is the focal point of creation. It is in the now that past and future co-exist and it is in the now that you have access to your greatest power.

Sunrise - be there to watch even if you do not understand; everything is recorded
Even if you find it hard to get up early in the morning, even if you understand nothing of the event taking place before your eyes at sunrise, it is still worth making the effort to be present. For in spite of yourself, beyond your consciousness, work is taking place and, in the future, when the effects become apparent, they will astonish you.Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist.
